Took it to the dealer and they found a 15 amp fuse I missed in the IPDM that was blown. I drove it 40 miles and took it through the car wash before it died on me again. Same fuse blew again in the ipdm. Changed it out and got about 20 miles and it blew again. It blew at least 10 fuses. I tried it again to today after changing the fuse and it seems to be ok for now. What gives?

 

The fuse is still blowing randomly, I purchased another IPDM from ebay but it does the same thing. I read somewhere that it could be a bad ECM relay? I am getting one of those to see if the problem persists. Does this sound right to anyone?

 

Finally got it fixed after 3 trips to the dealership. There was a wire shorting out somewhere causing the fuse to blow. All that trouble and it was only a wire. Thanks for all your help guys!

 

Thanks for the info will try it .

 

 

I don't think you'll get an answer bro, that member hasn't logged on in over 5 years. But brownie points to you for searching.

 

Damn.. Im going thru the same symptoms as JBz007 did... My car just randomly shut off while driving and after that happend. I couldn't get the key to turn the ignition switch at all like the ignition was just locked up ..I had to call a lock smith to unlock the ignition.. Now I get the car to crank but cant get it to turn on ... The lock smith told me to get a new BCM and get the keys programmed.. but before I do that i wanted to do some deep research.. Ill try to replace one of those 15 amp fuses that JBz007 mentioned before I throw in the towel and tow it to the dealer ship. When I figure it out Ill post the issue I had.

 

Did you ever find out what the problem was?

 

Yes. According to the dealership It was due to fried ecm harness that killed the ecm. I found a used ecm for $35 on ebay. With the diagnostic and key programing I ended up paying around $700.. it's been about 6 months now and no issues.
